Fishing is worth prioritizing immediately after Update 2.0 in Anime Expeditions because catches build Fishing Reef EXP and Sand Dollars, while higher Event Ranks unlock rewards and event-currency boosts that accelerate the wider grind.
Key Fishing looks like a side activity, but its dedicated progression continues paying off after each catch. The useful split is between immediate rewards and rank perks that improve later event farming. Building that rank early makes the rest of the update grind more efficient.
Fishing pays off early in Update 2.0
Fishing deserves an early place in your farming routine because its progression improves the value of the time you spend elsewhere. Advancing it before committing to a long grind gives newly unlocked perks more opportunities to produce currency.
That makes fishing a strong progression accelerator, not a replacement for every other activity. Its strength comes from building a separate rank and carrying its benefits into the wider event loop.

Fishing rewards and Event Rank perks
| Fishing system | Reward or benefit |
|---|---|
| Catch rewards | Fish and Sand Dollars, with fishing also able to yield units, traits, equipment, and other rewards. |
| Fishing Reef EXP | Each successful catch advances the dedicated fishing progression track. |
| Milestone Rewards | Continued fishing unlocks rewards including rerolls, Gems, Star Crystals, and the Flamingo Emote. |
| Rods and index | Fishing across different maps unlocks rods and fills the fishing index. |
| Event Ranks | Six ranks grant special event titles and increasingly valuable passive event-currency perks. |
The fishing system has several progression layers, so the value of a session extends beyond whichever fish appears on the catch screen. Some rewards arrive immediately, while others accumulate through milestones, collection progress, and Event Ranks.
Key The Event Rank track includes +20% and +40% currency-gain perks, eventually reaching +100% at Grandmaster. Another perk awards 250 event currency for winning a non-event game mode, up to 5,000 per day, while a higher rank provides 10,000 event currency per day.
This separates fishing level from the value of one individual catch. A modest catch still contributes toward perks that can generate substantially more currency throughout the remaining update grind.
An efficient fishing and Tidal Siege farming loop
Front-load fishing before a long event-currency session. Reaching the next Event Rank first lets its newly unlocked perk apply to more of the farming that follows.
Keep Tidal Siege in the rotation as a separate combat farm. Clearing its waves awards Sand Dollars and Summer Capsules, and those capsules can contain limited units and skins. Fishing therefore complements wave clearing: one builds the rank-based bonuses and catch rewards, while the other supplies repeatable combat rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fish from the lobby or outside an active stage?
No. Attempting to fish outside active gameplay displays the warning “You can only fish while playing!”, so enter a stage containing a fishing spot first.
